Use of Google Analytics

This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is the Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files which are saved on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. Information on your use of this website collected through the cookies is normally transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will, however, be abbreviated beforehand by Google in European Union Member States or other states party to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site to compile reports on the website activities for the website operator and to perform other services associated with website and Internet use. When using Google Analytics, the IP address sent by your browser will not be associated with other Google data. You can stop the cookies from being saved by using the relevant setting in your browser; bear in mind, however, that you may then not be able to make full use of all the features on this website. You can also stop data from being collected through the cookies and the data on your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the "anonymizeIp" code to ensure IP addresses are collected anonymously.

Use of Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for inserting advertisements by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", text files which are saved on your computer and make it possible to analyse the use of the website. Google AdSense also uses web beacons (invisible graphics). Using these web beacons, information such as visitor traffic on these pages can be analysed.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons on the use of this website (including your IP address) and delivery of advertising formats will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. This information may be forwarded by Google to a contract partner. Google will not, however, associate your IP address with other data concerning you.

You can stop the cookies from being installed by using the relevant setting in your browser; bear in mind, however, that you may then not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. By using this website, you consent to Google processing data collected about you in the manner described above and for the purpose previously mentioned.

Use of Facebook Pixel

These allow the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they click on a Facebook ad to reach the provider's website. This allows an analysis of the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and their future optimization.

The data collected is anonymous to us as operators of this website and we cannot use it to draw any conclusions about our users' identities. However, the data are stored and processed by Facebook, which may make a connection to your Facebook profile and which may use the data for its own advertising purposes, as stipulated in the Facebook privacy policy. This will allow Facebook to display ads both on Facebook and on third-party sites. We have no control over how this data is used.

Check out Facebook's privacy policy to learn more about protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the custom audiences remarketing feature in the Ads Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You will first need to log into Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can opt out of usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page. Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Use of MailChimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests. If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected. For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Completion of a data processing agreement.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with MailChimp, in which we require MailChimp to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose said data to third parties.
